Some of you may recall this being offered for sale on here not that long ago from Landsbee

Well it was love at first sight for me. I have never seen another one, and can only fine one other on the internet.

This one had quite a lot of fun getting to the UK from Germany....but it arrived in the end

Anyway, build it up with the stuff I had in that was in good condition and kinda of suitable.

Seat post was a pain - 29.5 mm anyone :facepalm:

Anyway Moore and Large of all people sorted me via ebay for a £5 posted with a brand new 29.6, which turns out to be 29.4......anyway tightened up with a bolt and its fine :D

I will be upgrading this over time when suitable stuff in good nic come up, but for now enjoy the neon blaze....

Re: 1991 Marin Eldridge Grade - Neon special

Loved the frame, love the full bike even more! Stunning.

Great, unusual colourway. Interesting to see some of these different paint schemes on the 90/91 Marins rather than the (great as well) Zolatone.
One question - with those seat stays, is this not a 1990 model rather than 1991 when the Afterburners were introduced?

Really nice to see a "euro" coloured Marin...I remember the for sale ad and its in great condition! Yup its a 1990 as Lrh pointed out. I can't say I have seen another like it certainly something to turn a few heads!

Good work mate

Re: 1991 Marin Eldridge Grade - Neon special

Thanks gents for the heads up.

Will correct the title in a bit.

I have some LX kit on another bike, so I might get it back closer to original spec one day
